Hi everyone. I have not been online because of computer issues, but now it's fixed. I am going to surprise my JW dad along with two of my brothers for his 85th birthday this weekend. My one brother is out and the other is a staunch JW along with dad. I recently told my dad about the Rand Cam thing and the UN. He said he would look at the info. The problem is I don't want this to turn into a big fight. He is old so I want it to be as easy a read as possible. Any ideas on the easiest documents to read about the UN, Rand Cam, 607 , Blood. Any help would be greatly accepted. Thank you in advance.

I thought is was great! Another favorite of mine is American History X with Ed Norton.
Has anyone seen The House Of D, which was David Ducovny(wrong spelling) first directorial movie. It was similar in feel to Crash. I really enjoyed it too!

Good morning everyone!
Visited my staunch JW dad over the weekend. My husband(never jw very educated) was with me. When my dad and I started our usual arguing over the Watchtower my husband decided to jump in. He very rationally explained how they joined the UN and about the shares of stock(he is invovled in that business) they recieved. It was unbelievable but my dad agreed to look at the info on both. We also went online on a Greek language website and we started reading this really informative article on Joh 1;1 and I think he may have had a small seed planted. He then asked my husband to write a letter to the Watchtower in regard to both situations(because of course, there is a very good explanation).
Can someone give me advice on the best way to go about this and the best place to get the info that will not show any bias aganist JW's?

I am going to visit my ministerial servant, liasion committe, 85 year old dad. He lives in Florida. I am taking my kids and husband with me. I am so dreading it. I love my father, but all he talks about is Watchtower crap. He literally has no other interest. I mention to him that we will either fly in Thursday night or Friday morning. He then says something about the meeting on Thursday night. So here I am dragging my family down to see him(and my boys really do want to go) and he is concerned about missing a meeting. It so pissed me off.
I then talk to my JW brother who was just removed as an elder and he says, I know how you feel but be the BIGGER person.
The only weird thing was I also told him about these JW's questioning my friend in town about me. He then said "don't talk to them". If they find you and tell you they will DF you say "your going to sue them". How weird is that. You profess to be this witness and yet you tell soneone to sue. They are just so brainwashed!!
I was reading all the different post and deciding if I should broach either the 607/thing or maybe blood issue but I then just say what's the point! It all just seems so futile. He is what he is, why can't I just let it go!

My Dad died this evening
by Mulan ini thought i would let you know that my dad, passed away a little while ago, tonight, january 23. they called me at 6pm to tell me.
he had been failing rapidly for the past month, and had completely lost his hearing and was totally blind.
the dementia was extreme too, and he still knew me on thursday, but didn't wake up to know me in the following days.

Anyone else have UC or Crohn's?
by slimboyfat in.
i have been on the toilet for about four months now (with brief interludes involving the non-toilet world)

I am not sure if this could help you, but there is a book called the "Makers Diet". The guy who wrote it had a severe case of Crohn's and discovered someone who professed that this diet would help. I would suggest you take a look at it. If you can't find it let me know.

Guys I have been posting along time. My old name was PC. My son crashed our computer before Christmas and when I came back on I no longer had my password. I pmd Simon but never heard anything so I just resigned on and I can't seem to change it back. Anyway .. Dave... My Dad and Brother already say to help themselves.."you were not really babtized because you were so young (I think 11 or so) that you really had no idea what you were doing. just2law ... I never attended where I live now I faded years and years ago. For all I know they could annouce it and I would probably never know. Others have called on me at my new home, but I said nothing to them.

They said "that's great because that's what were doing is teaching from the bible". My friend then said "but the bible you use is not the same as other bibles". They then asked her what church she goes to. She replied and they then started asking her about me. Thay said doesn't ----- attend that church? They then started telling her personal information about my family and suggesting that I left their "church" because what happened to my mother. They knew I moved from one part of town to another and asked her where I lived now. My friend was shocked and said "I really don't feel comfortable discussing someone elses personal business". My guess is they are coming for me. The joke is I don't give a damn!!!
